NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES
Organization and Operations
KULR Technology Group, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation (collectively referred to as “KULR” or the “Company”), develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for electronics, batteries, and other components across a range of applications. Currently, the Company is focused on targeting both high performance aerospace and United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, such as space exploration, satellite communications, and underwater vehicles, and applying them to mass market commercial applications, such as lithium-ion battery energy storage, electric vehicles, 5G communication, cloud computer infrastructure, consumer and industrial devices.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2023 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 28, 2023. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $ 1,167,315 and a working capital deficit of $ 6,355,104 , which includes the prepaid advance liability of $ 5,910,405 (see Note 9 – Prepaid Advance Liability). For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 18,500,127 and used cash in operations of $ 10,893,050 .
The Company’s primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, since the Company’s inception we have had a history of recurring net losses from operations, recurring use of cash in operating activities and declining working capital.

Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include $ 4,831,517 for accounts payable and accrued expenses and $ 172,569 for future payments under operating leases. Further, pursuant to an amended agreement with Yorkville executed on November 7, 2023 (see Note 14 – Subsequent Events - Prepaid Advance Liability for further details), the Company is required to repay the Prepaid Advance balance as follows: $ 1,500,000 on or before December 31, 2023 plus accrued interest as well as a 5 % cash payment premium; $ 2,000,000 plus accrued interest as well as a 5 % cash payment premium on or before January 31, 2024; and the remaining principal amount of the Advance of $ 2,471,238 plus accrued interest as well as a 5 % cash payment premium on or before March 1, 2024. The Company has also committed to spend $ 809,379 related to capital expenditures for automation equipment, and $ 500,000 in connection with an asset purchase agreement (see Note 14 – Subsequent Events – Common Stock). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Management’s plans to mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt include (i) revenue growth, (ii) reducing operating expenses through careful cost management, (iii) raising additional funds through future financings, and (iv) negotiating an extension and/or conversion to equity of the Company’s prepaid advance liability (see Note 9 – Prepaid Advance Liability).
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute the aforementioned initiatives.
On September 15, 2023, the Company completed a public offering of 8,214,285 shares of common stock at $ 0.35 per share, with gross proceeds of $ 2,875,000 less issuance costs of $ 588,230 , for net proceeds of $ 2,286,770 . On September 18, 2023, the Company repaid an aggregate amount of $ 1,839,731 , consisting of a principal amount of $ 1,500,000 , accrued interest in the amount of $ 264,731 and a payment premium in the amount of $ 75,000 to Yorkville against its outstanding Prepaid Advances.
As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company has no additional commitments to obtain additional funding through future financings and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate an extension of the prepaid advance liability repayments or its conversion to equity, or that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. The aforementioned factors indicate that management’s plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for equity securities, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Balances that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash, accounts receivable, revenue and accounts payable.

Cash Concentrations
A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. There were uninsured balances of $ 667,315 and $ 9,833,451 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive significant revenues from any of these customers. Any reduction or delay in operating activity from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer, or termination of agreements with significant customers, could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. As a result of the Company’s significant customer concentrations, its gross profit and results of operations could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political, environmental, or economic conditions, or the loss of, reduction of business from, or less favorable terms with any of the Company’s significant customers.

Inventory
The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products when future commercialization is considered probable, and a future economic benefit is expected to be realized. These costs consist of finished goods, raw materials, manufacturing-related costs, transportation and freight, and other indirect overhead costs.
Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale, as well as raw materials and work in process related primarily to the manufacture of safe cases. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. Finished goods inventory is held on-site at the Company’s San Diego, California location. Certain raw materials are held off-site with our contract manufacturers.
Inventory at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
● Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer;
● Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
● Step 3: Determine the transaction price;
● Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
● Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:
● Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which is generally at the time it ships the product to the customer.

● Contract services – Revenue is recognized pursuant to the terms of each individual contract when the Company satisfies the respective performance obligations, which could be recognized at a point in time or over the term of the contract.
The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized by type of contract in its condensed consolidated statements of operations:

The contract liabilities included in deferred revenue represent payments received from customers for which the Company had not yet satisfied its performance obligation under the contract, or the customers have not officially accepted the goods or services provided under the contract. The Company expects to satisfy the remaining performance obligations and recognize the revenue related to its deferred revenue balance within the next twelve months. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 43,413 and $ 34,402 of deferred labor and other costs, respectively, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred labor and other costs represent costs to fulfill the Company’s contract revenue. The Company will recognize the deferred labor and other costs as cost of revenue at the point in time that the Company recognizes the related revenue, which is generally at the time the services are provided and/or the product/service is accepted by the customer.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. Management does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 ASSET ACQUISITION
On May 4, 2023 (the “Asset Purchase Date”), the Company entered into an agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with a seller (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the assets, primarily intellectual property, of the Seller (the “Acquired Assets”) for consideration of $ 75,000 (the “Total Consideration”), which was paid in cash on May 11, 2023. In addition, the seller has been employed by the Company.

Table of Contents
KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The Asset Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Seller. The Asset Purchase Agreement also contains post-closing indemnification provisions pursuant to which the parties have agreed to indemnify each other against losses resulting from certain events, including breaches of representations and warranties, covenants and certain other matters.
The Company determined that the transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the Acquired Assets is concentrated in a single asset. The total cost of the intellectual property acquired of $ 75,000 is included in intangible assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 5 years .
NOTE 4 INVENTORY DEPOSITS
Inventory deposits consist of amounts paid in advance to vendors to secure future deliveries of specific finished goods and raw materials which will be received and sold in future periods.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31,2022, the Company had outstanding inventory deposits of $ 91,033 and $ 285,260 , respectively.

(1) The current portion of this liability was $ 5,655,612 as of December 31, 2022.
On September 23, 2022, the Company entered into a Supplemental Agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”) to its Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with Yorkville. Under the Supplemental Agreement, the Company may from time-to-time request advances of up to $ 15,000,000 (each, a “Prepaid Advance”) from Yorkville with a limitation on the aggregate amount of such advances of $ 50,000,000 . At any time that there is a balance outstanding under a Prepaid Advance, the Company is not permitted to deliver Advance Notices (as defined in Note 13, Stockholders’ Equity) under the SEPA.
Each Prepaid Advance matures 12 months after the date of the closing of such advance (the “Prepaid Advance Date”), and accrues interest at 10 % per annum, subject to an increase to 15 % per annum upon events of default as defined. Any Prepaid Advance balance that remains outstanding at maturity must be repaid in cash.
Pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Agreement, Yorkville has the right to receive shares to pay down Prepaid Advances, and may select the timing and delivery of such shares (via an “Investor Notice”), in an amount up to the balance of the Prepaid Advance at a price equal to the lower of (a) 135 % of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately prior the closing of the Prepaid Advance, or (b) 95 % of the lowest VWAP during the three days immediately prior to the Investor Notice.
On March 10, 2023, the Company and Yorkville agreed and closed on a second Prepaid Advance (the “Second Advance”).
